A Mesa woman called an Uber after stabbing her boyfriend and fleeing with their child on Saturday, according to court documents and the driver.

Florence Alsenay, 28, is suspected of stabbing her boyfriend in the arm during an argument before leaving the apartment with their son, court documents said.

The victim did not want Alsenay to leave with the child, whose age was not specified, because she was intoxicated, according to the police documents.

A female friend of Alsenay who was also at the apartment grabbed the victim from behind as Alsenay got on top of him and hit him in the face with her cellphone, causing a laceration near his eye, according to the documents.

Alsenay also bit the victim in the forearm, causing noticeable injuries, the documents state.

The documents said the women fled the scene with the child before Mesa police arrived.

'Hurry up'

The two women called a Uber car to pick them up, the driver, Tony Bafaloukos told The Arizona Republic.

He said they rushed him to leave when a man came out of the apartment.

"They go, 'Hurry up, go, go, go,' " he said in a YouTube video on the AZ Gun Guys channel.

Bafaloukos told The Republic he complied because he had "no intention (of) getting in the middle of a lovers spat."

He said he was relieved to see a police car when he pulled out of the complex, thinking it was there to handle any issues with the man.

Bafaloukos said he saw flashing police lights behind him after driving for only a few minutes.

He said Alsenay told him her boyfriend had been beating her when he asked her what she had gotten him into.

Police pulled over the Uber vehicle and treated it as a high-risk traffic stop, said Detective Nik Rasheta, Mesa police spokesman.

He said Bafaloukos likely was handcuffed during the stop but was released and treated as a witness once police confirmed he was not a suspect.

"Everyone would have been detained initially until everyone was identified," Rasheta said.

Police had their guns drawn and told everyone to put their hands up, Bafaloukos said. He said he became nervous when Alsenay opened the door and yelled back at police, who were giving her instructions.

"That set me off. I'm very respectful of the police," he told The Republic. "I was thinking she was going to do something stupid."

Bafaloukos, who was carrying a gun with a concealed-carry permit, said he cooperated with police while in handcuffs until they could verify he was an Uber driver.

He said he felt better once he was out of the car because his life didn't depend on Alsenay's actions.

"I never understand why you would ever aggravate people pointing guns at you," he said. "All these things were going through my head a million miles an hour."

Bafaloukos said police acted professionally and did not mistreat him during the stop.

After her arrest, which took place in the area of Guadalupe Road and Country Club Drive, Alsenay admitted to officers that she cut her boyfriend with a knife, hitting him with her phone and biting him, the records state.

Alsenay faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, endangerment, disorderly conduct and assault, according to the records.
